POETIC DEVICES TO EXPRESS EVALUATIONS. EVALUATIVE FUNCTION OF THE METRIC FORM IN THE POEM RICH (MOVEMENT) BY JULIAN TUWIM

Summary/Abstract: This article discusses briefly the evaluation devices encoded in language (axiological vocabulary) and more complex ways of expressing evaluations used in utterances and statements and based on the employment of connotations and conversational implicatures (comparisons, metaphors, irony). The subject of a closer analysis is the use of the verse form in the evaluative function. The combined application of a variety of evaluative devices, including versological ones, is illustrated by Ruch (Movement) by Julian Tuwim. The metrical structure of this poem, i.e. the 4-accent tonic verse, which is rarely used in Poland, functions as a sound metaphor that contributes to the grotesque image of the movement of passers-by hurrying without a clear purpose along the streets of the city, and hence the tonic rhythm becomes an important factor in the satirical approach to the work’s theme.
